Fletcher Jackson Band —
Live a Lie

Lyrics and Music by Fletcher Jackson

Chains, chains, chains,
Change all change,
Can’t change the season,
Can’t change your mind,
Can’t chain the problem
So it lies down by your side.

Chains undone,
Changes hide,
Then hit you squarely
On your blind side,
Don’t treat you fairly
While the others get a free ride.

Chorus:
     Wake up in the morning
     And I’m full of pride,
     For I survived
     Another graveyard night.
     Alright, it hurt
     To see her leaving
     And it hurts just to survive,
     It’d hurt more to live a lie.

Chains, chains, chains,
I’ll break mine,
And maybe if I let you go
You’ll come back in time,
And I’ll still be your dog
Waiting in the wild.

Chorus:
     Wake up in the morning
     And I’m full of pride,
     For I survived
     Another graveyard night.
     Alright, it hurt
     To see her leaving
     And it hurts just to survive,
     It’d hurt more to live a lie.

Bridge:
   When I’m there, when I’m there,
   Lying awake,
   Just waiting, oh, waiting.
   For those days to come
   When you’re there,
   Lying awake just waiting I pray,
   You’re waiting for the same.

Chorus:
     Wake up in the morning
     And I’m full of pride,
     For I survived
     Another graveyard night.
     Alright, it hurt
     To see her leaving
     And it hurts just to survive,
     It’d hurt more to live a lie.

     And it hurt
     To see her leaving
     And it hurts just to say goodbye,
     It’d hurt more to live a lie.
